black dog

We adopted Jonah on a whim one day in 2010. He looked like a lab puppy, but never got any bigger than 20lbs. He had spent the first 8 months of his life in the shelter, and it showed. No manners, didn’t love going to the bathroom in grass, digging, tearing apart toys. I never did get him to sit for longer than a second before he’d run off, giving me a grin as he went. He was always a little crazy. But loyal. So loyal. He’d sit in front of me, looking out, watching out for trouble. If we’d go to the dog park, he wouldn’t leave my side. We’d go hiking and I kept him on a leash, but one time I did let him off and he wouldn’t get more than 5 feet away. He was the best, and will be so very missed.
